Role of NAD+ in regulating cellular and metabolic signaling pathways
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article Review)BackgroundNicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a critical coenzyme present in every living cell, is involved in a myriad of metabolic processes associated with cellular bioenergetics. For this reason, NAD+ is often ... -
Sanguinarine mediated apoptosis in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer via generation of reactive oxygen species and suppression of JAK/STAT pathway
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Effective treatment of lung cancer remains a significant clinical challenge due to its multidrug resistance and side effects of the current treatment options. The high mortality associated with this malignancy indicates ... -
Tumor microenvironment: an evil nexus promoting aggressive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and avenue for targeted therapy.
( Springer Nature , 2021 , Article Review)Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a very aggressive disease with a poor prognosis for advanced-stage tumors. Recent clinical, genomic, and cellular studies have revealed the highly heterogeneous and ... -
Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 37: an important cog in the oncogenic machinery of cancerous cells.
( BMC , 2021 , Article Review)Protein ubiquitination is one of the most crucial posttranslational modifications responsible for regulating the stability and activity of proteins involved in homeostatic cellular function. Inconsistencies in the ... -
Cardiac Myosin Binding Protein-C in Sprague Dawley (SD) Rats exposed to Sub-Chronic oral dose of Cadmium Chloride
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Cadmium is one of the major environmental pollutants associated with an increment in industrial and urbanization activities. It has health consequences when it reaches the human diet through the soil, water, and plant. ... -
The effect of acute ophiobolin A treatment on HO-mediated inflammatory processes
( SAGE Publications Ltd , 2017 , Article)Many microbial and plant-derived metabolites contribute to the production of inflammatory mediators and the expression of pro-inflammatory molecules. Ophiobolin A (OPA) is a fungal secondary metabolite produced by Bipolaris ... -
Epigenetic and breast cancer therapy: Promising diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article Review)The global burden of breast cancer (BC) is increasing significantly. This trend is caused by several factors such as late diagnosis, limited treatment options for certain BC subtypes, drug resistance which all lead to poor ... -
1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy of 2H-to-1H exchange quantifies the dynamics of cellular metabolism in vivo
( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)Quantitative mapping of the in vivo dynamics of cellular metabolism via non-invasive imaging contributes to our understanding of the initiation and progression of diseases associated with dysregulated metabolic processes. ... -
Genetics of structural and functional brain changes in autism spectrum disorder.
( Springer Nature , 2020 , Article Review)Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental disorder characterized by social impairment and restricted interactive and communicative behaviors. It may occur as an isolated disorder or in the context ... -
Single-Voxel H MR spectroscopy of cerebral nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD ) in humans at 7T using a 32-channel volume coil.
( Wiley , 2019 , Article)Reliable monitoring of tissue nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD ) concentration may provide insights on its roles in normal and pathological aging. In the present study, we report a H MRS pulse sequence for the in ... -
Brain microstructural changes support cognitive deficits in HIV uninfected children born to HIV infected mothers
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)IntroductionAntiretroviral therapy (ART) is considered the most effective way to prevent perinatal transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, there is little knowledge about the effect of ART on the brain ... -
Exploring Dysregulated Signaling Pathways in Cancer.
( Bentham Science Publishers , 2020 , Article Review)Cancer cell biology takes advantage of identifying diverse cellular signaling pathways that are disrupted in cancer. Signaling pathways are an important means of communication from the exterior of cell to intracellular ... -
Claudin-1, A Double-Edged Sword in Cancer.
( MDPI , 2020 , Article Review)Claudins, a group of membrane proteins involved in the formation of tight junctions, are mainly found in endothelial or epithelial cells. These proteins have attracted much attention in recent years and have been implicated ... -
Functional In Vivo Imaging of Tumors.
( Springer , 2020 , Book chapter)Noninvasive imaging of functional and molecular changes in cancer has become an indispensable tool for studying cancer in vivo. Targeting the functional and molecular changes in cancer imaging provides a platform for the ... -
Association of genes with phenotype in autism spectrum disorder.
( Impact Journals , 2019 , Article Review)Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a genetic heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterized by impairments in social interaction and speech development and is accompanied by stereotypical behaviors such as ... -
Cadmium Toxicity: Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and Tissue Injury
( Scientific Research Publishing , 2019 , Article Review)Cadmium is a known environmental pollutant targeting various organs. Often implicated in cadmium toxicology is the formation of reactive oxygen species, overwhelming the free radical scavenging mechanisms and inducing ... -
Cadmium-induced endothelial dysfunction mediated by asymmetric dimethylarginine.
( Springer , 2020 , Article)Cadmium (Cd) is a naturally occurring toxic heavy metal with no known essential biological functions. Exposure to Cd increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by disrupting vascular homeostasis at the endothelium. The ... -
Genetic and Neuroimaging Approaches to Understanding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
( MDPI , 2020 , Article Review)Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a highly disabling condition, increasingly recognized as both a disorder of mental health and social burden, but also as an anxiety disorder characterized by fear, stress, and ... -
Sugar alcohol provides imaging contrast in cancer detection
( NLM (Medline) , 2019 , Article)Clinical imaging is widely used to detect, characterize and stage cancers in addition to monitoring the therapeutic progress. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) aided by contrast agents utilizes the differential relaxivity ... -
Role of non-coding RNA networks in leukemia progression, metastasis and drug resistance.
